<H1><A NAME="Header_186" HREF="../proguide.htm#ToC_186">Appendix A. Data Explorer
Libraries</A></H1>
The most common use of the Data Explorer development libraries is to create your
own
modules, but there are several other ways they can be used.
<HR>
<H2><A NAME="Header_187">A.1 libDXlite.a</A></H2>
To create your own data filters or stand alone data processing programs,
as shown by the "DX Data Model" layer in <A HREF="progu009.htm#FIGARCH">Figure
1</A>,
link your programs with the
libDXlite.a library. This is the appropriate layer to use if your
program wants to create, manipulate, import or export Data Explorer objects.
None
of the module routines nor any of the functions supplied by the Data Explorer
Executive are included at this level.
<P>
If you are building a module to use with Data Explorer, you typically link with
this library.
<P>
The routines contained in libDXlite.a are listed in <A
HREF="progu096.htm#HDRDXLAP1">Appendix B. "Data Explorer Data Model Library:
DXlite Routines"</A>.
